It was friggin cold. But a whole lot of fun driving Jeeps in the snow. Didn't have issues with rolling blackouts or anything like that. However, now that I'm back at work, people are telling me some really horrible stories about being without power for 72 or more hours. There were less 'rolling blackouts' than actual 'shutting off the power'. Seems to have effected lower income areas than higher income.
The Marvel Universe is forever changed. The Secret Wars have ended. Reed Richards put the 616 universe back together. But even in his infinite power, he wasn't able to get it exactly right. Sure, Spider-Man still swings high above the streets - but it may not be the Spider-Man that was there last year. The Avengers have returned, their lineup is different. The X-Men have found themselves once again in the halls of the Xavier Estate somewhere in upstate New York; however, they too are changed. The world is the same, yet many of the characters are different. They are from different universes. Lost within the 616 and trying to find their own footing and to live their lives.
At its core, this is a Marvel Comic game. The story takes place in the Marvel 616 Universe. However, you are welcome to bring in any version of the character you want. Be it from the movies, television, cartoons, alternate universe comics, etc. Marvel characters only.

@TNP Ah, the teen's from the past/future/alternate timeline. The way the character rules are setup is that only one incarnation of the character can exist at the same time. We did this for OOC reasons mostly. So we wouldn't bring stressors to current players and staff. IE: 2-20 Wolverines would be a nightmare of 'No, I didn't do that. It wasn't me. Why do you keep screwing me over.' noise. Right along with MUX code naming and other potential issues. Bendis had his run with the teen X-Men and if a player wanted to bring one of them on as a character, sure. But only one incarnation at a time.
@Bobotron You're right, I misread. I'm not sure I know the difference between the two. But if they are different people then perhaps. I do know there's a difference between Dark Beast and Beast. I'm struggling to find citations or differences for O5 Beast and Big Blue Beast on the web. Presently there are no Beast(s) on the game. So if a player brought a Beast in, they could make him any version they wished.
@Phase-Face I've seen it done as adults too. Franklin would be a god as an adult. But Valeria would be manageable. However, see above for 616 restrictions on F4 family.
This does not mean that other children can't come in as adults. All of Power Pack could come in as late teens/adults from alternate universes.
@Bobotron That's up to the player. If the player wants to make Old Man Logan, then he/she is quite welcome to do that. Presently, our Logan is from Earth 187. What ever version the player wants to play is very welcome (except for noted F4 above). Also, if this Logan ever drops. The next player can choose to continue playing that version, or bring in a new version. If a new Logan is brought in; the IC history that occurred does NOT go away when this happens. Instead, the new Logan will have to deal with what transpired on top of being a stranger in a strange land. Which can make for some good story.
For example. Someone applied and started playing the 616 version of Star-Lord with the 616 version of Shadowcat. Canonly they are engaged. Both players had to drop due to RL and then new players stepped in to take over the characters. The new Star-Lord opted for the Guardians of the Galaxy version and Shadowcat kept her 616 version. Comedy ensued.
@Phase-Face I totally agree. Though I've seen them played elseMU. It wasn't really ever a personal preference to play children.
@Phase-Face When the Secret Wars (2015 comic event) ended, Reed was the one responsible for remaking the 616 universe. He was sure to get the F4 family members correctly. The rest of the universe wasn't as important. So Reed, Sue, Johnny, Ben, Franklin and Valeria (?) will need to be the 616 versions.
It should also be noted that only one instance of any character can exist at any given time. Meaning, no more than 1 Logan, 1 Spider-Man (except for Ben), etc. But it can be any version of those that the player applies for. Except for the F4.
Just a quirk of the game.
@Miss-Demeanor It's a Marvel only game. But, http://www.marvunapp.com/list/appalte.htm and http://comicvine.gamespot.com/marvel-multiverse/4015-56201/ are great places to get alternate versions of characters if you didn't want to do the 616 version. Also, you can create your own version. IE: Someone plays Vision, but used the cutoff of Operation Galactic Storm instead of the current 616 Vision version. So they made up an alternate reality number. I think the hard rule is that What-If comic characters aren't allowed.
Yes, current Marvel 616 Universe (just after Secret Wars came to a close). A few tweaks to make it fit and of course players can alter other reality characters to bring them in. The FF are allowed. However; they have to be the 616 version(s) and after Reed gave away his god power.
